On a cold, gray, rainy or snowy day, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. If you’re feeling sniffly, achy, and generally unwell, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. When you are a poor student/waitress at the Old Spaghetti Factory and get unlimited free soup, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. There is […]
Spinach & Sausage Soup with Homemade Croutons
I don’t surprise easily, but sometimes people surprise me. Sometimes the surprise might be big, like a last-minute, your-bags-are-packed-for-you vacation.

Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
With hot summer weather comes cool summer suppers, and this salad is one of our all-time favourites! I’ve been making this recipe for awhile after having something similar in Mitch Miller’s restaurant in Abbotsford. I ordered a chicken caesar salad and there were NOODLES in it! Now, if you know my feelings about pasta you […]
